Introduction Test of New High Quality Peanut Varieties

In this paper, 15 new peanut varieties were introduced for identifying their yield and characteristics. The results showed that the yield of ‘Quanhua 106’ was highest and its yield increase was significantly higher than that of control ‘Quanhua No.7’. ‘Qunahua 106’ had medium-size plant height, large pod, and large kernel and could be extended in Fuqing City. ‘Quanhua No.13’, ‘Quanhua No.14’, ‘Quanhua No.15’ and ‘Quanhua No.16’ showed high quality and good productivity and could be extended in Fuqing City. ‘Quanhua No.13’, ‘Quanhua No.14’ and ‘Quanhua No.15’ showed high oleic acid content of over 75%. ‘Quanhua No.16’ showed high oil content and high oleic and linoleic acid ratio. These four peanut varieties had higher yield than that control ‘Quanhua No.7’ but not significantly. They could be in trial and demonstrated as high quality varieties in Fuqing City.
